Are you serious?

Twilight Princess? The Minish Cap? Phantom Hourglass? Spirit Tracks? These are horrible titles. Still, I guess they're more barable than the generic fan fiction "Fate of Sorrow"-esque stuff.

Minish Cap was flagship, not Nintendo. And yeah, I do have to say the DS games are at the bottom of the pile in terms of titles. But how can you argue with stuff like 'Ocarina of Time', 'A link to the Past' and 'Majora's Mask'? You can't. They're awesome.

Play the song of time backwards. It'll fix that issue for you.

A Link to the Past is probably my favorite title of anything in any media. It's not only clever, but fun to say!

Starting with "The Wind Waker," I think the titles went downhill.

what? I thought twilight princess was a terrible title.

twilight princess was one of the cleverer subtitles in the series, since you're led to believe it refers to Zelda when it doesn't.

Wind Waker had the same sort of dual meaning, iirc. I thought the King of Red Lions called Link a "young Wind Waker" at some point, but it also refers to the item.

Twilight Princess is still better though.

Just today, I spent 2 hours doing nothing on a 100%'d save file of TP.

Even if it's somehow possible to take my time like that in MM, in won't be nearly as calm.

I'll still try and do it. That, and Pikmin.

Exactly. The story wasnt executed the way it should've been but ultimately it wasnt about Princess Zelda

It's been a nice sunny day outside and I've sat here all day (when I could have easily gone out and just came back) waiting for this conference to start.

I think Nintendo are going to blow everyone away at E3 this year. The Microsoft conference was pretty awful, Sony's showing later on should provide a good mix of stuff but I think Nintendo will steal the show.

After playing Mario Galaxy 2 I'm pretty sure Zelda will easily live up to the hype, so long as the control decisions don't ruin it.

Hm, I personally liked it. It's better than anything I could come up with at least.

It sounds so fan-made for me, even thought I got how it was about Midna. I don't know if its the language barrier, I'm not a native english speaker, in spanish it does sound better I admit.

hey man, twilight princess looked great and all but with windwakers cel-shading style you can take the art direction and graphics to higher levels

Or so I tell myself :I

Yeah, I know the art looked like that but hopefully it looks different than the art or much more polished than Twilight Princess.

It's an improvement over the "item of the game" theme that had been going on since ocarina.

I was going to agree with you by saying "yeah, what would you want the game to be called, "The Twilight Wolf"? (the wolf is the catch of TP) but then I realized that Midna and the wolf are interchangeable and part of the same thing, so essentially the Twilight Princess is your Ocarina of Time, the item of the game.

The animations...the expressions were priceless, I enjopyed the light hearted feel of WW, it's a real gem. I'd give anything to have that again on a home console :)

True that. It's probably a given new Zelda will look better being that TP was a port, there is some comfort to be had :)

Visuals aside, I just want to see the damn thing already, I can't bare the wait.
